How to reduce guttate psoriasis - #22960
Karan
I have been suffering from psoriasis for the past 6-7 years. When I use English medicines, it subsides, but it returns after a few months. Initially, it was very mild on my legs and scalp, but now it has increased on legs body hands and face also slightly and is not reducing.

Dealing with recurrent psoriasis, specifically guttate psoriasis, can be quite challenging. In Ayurveda, this condition is linked to an imbalance of doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha doshas, coupled with ama (toxins) accumulation. Addressing this from a root cause perspective involves cleansing the system, balancing doshas, and strengthening your immune response through lifestyle and dietary modifications.
Begin by focusing on your diet. To pacify Pitta and Kapha, emphasize freshly prepared meals with more cooling, moist, and alkalizing foods. Include green leafy vegetables, bitter herbs (like neem and turmeric) and whole grains like barley and quinoa. It's essential to avoid spicy, fried, or heavily oily foods, as these can aggravate Pitta dosha. Dairy should be limited, except for ghee which can be beneficial. Incorporate herbal teas such as chamomile or mint which help calming the mind.
A simple home remedy would be applying coconut oil mixed with turmeric externally on the affected areas, as this combination helps cool down inflammation and soothes the skin.
Adopt a daily routine that balances your doshas: wake up early before sunrise, engage in light exercise such as yoga or a morning walk. Prioritize mindfulness practices, perhaps through meditation, to manage stress levels which tend to trigger psoriasis flare-ups. Maintaning a good sleep routine can also help calm down excessive Pitta energy.
Internally, you could consider trikatu, an herbal formulation that assists in improving digestion and clearing ama from the body. But, please consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the herbs to your unique constitution and needs.
Regular Panchakarma treatments under professional supervision could be very helpful as well. Procedures like Virechana (therapeutic purgation) helps detoxify the body efficiently, reducing underlying factors contributing to psoriasis.
Stay well-hydrated, drink warm water throughout the day to assist in detoxification. Remember, the nature of the skin condition means it may take time to see significant results. Patience and consistency with Ayurvedic principles is key to managing psoriasis sustainably.
